E is for Emo... I mean Eyewing

Yes, it's a monster that cries on you. I kid you not!

Source image:

"Eyewings are loathsome inhabitants of the Abyss. They are obedient, loyal, and dumb -- perfect servitors for the dark gods and their more powerful minions.

An eyewing's body is a fat, egg-shaped ball covered with matted black fur. The 5-foot-wide body is supported by a pair of five-foot-long leathery bat wings. Each wing is tipped with a set of three razor-sharp talons. An 8-foot-long rat's tail dangles from the back of the body. The tail ends in a small, sharp spur. It has no feet and has never been known to land.

The body is dominated by the single, bulging, 4-foot-wide eyeball. The eyeball is black with a blood-red pupil. A vile blue fluid continuously leaks from the eye, soiling its fur. Great leathery eyelids squeeze this fluid out and away from the creature. The stench is unbelievable. It gives off an acidic smell that scorches the sensitive tissues in other creatures' noses and mouths. "

D is For Displacer Beast

Aw, it's a cute little kitty...

Oh noes! It has tentacles!

And six legs!

Sorry for the delay but it took several attempts to get this right. I have displacer beast pieces littering my desk reminiscent of the failed Ripley clones from Alien Resurrection. In the end I went in the kawaii direction. I think it works.

Heres a source image of this doom kitten.

C is for Carrion Crawler

And here he is!

NOM NOM NOM NOM

And Source image:

"A carrion crawler is a burrowing aberration which scavenges the dead and occasionally preys on living creatures. Similar to a giant, toothed centipede in appearance, carrion crawlers are often accompanied by a foul odor of death which warns others of their approach.

Although their nature ultimately rests in the Far Realm it is thought by many and indeed possible that carrion crawlers were created through a madwizard’s experiments.^"

His tentacles are pose-able.

And now on to "D"...

B is for Bugbear

And continuing the D&D A-Z Monster Challenge we have a classic Bugbear.

Here is the a source image for those of you less geeky:

Pretty much a goblin on steroids. Mine is more of a teddy-bugbear

A-Z D&D: An Adventure in Crochet

Dungeons & Dragons and fiber arts have mixed before. I'm sure many of you have seen crocheted Beholders out there. I have decided to take on a larger mission: a whole alphabet of D&D monsters! All will be amigurumi style plush toys (I'm sure some other media will be mixed in as well.)

And here we go!

A is for...

And no my interpretation:

Isn't he pretty?

What's better than a cuddly amorphous blob covered in eyes and teeth?

I'm not exactly sure which side is the back.

Also apparently they smell like flowers and Beholders keep them as pets!

Headgear

It's Hat Time!

I wear many hats. Seriously, I have dozens! These however are purely my own made from scratch cranium toppers.

This is the Aviator. I guess it fits with my name being Amelia and all. My roommate and I had a contest to see who could make the better flight cap. I used crochet and she knit. We never decided on how to judge.

I also have this steamy mini-top-hat. A crochet creation as well, along with ribbon and clock parts and copper wire.

It may be mini to me but I think it fits tentacles here quite well.
